streetz661 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I just recently bought new brakes pads for my corolla at first there were fine but recently they make the noise wich sounds like i need new ones.

carlearner Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 what kinda noise is it? grinding? what kinda pads are they? ful metalic? ← I presume the brakes still work ok..the parts are correct...the calipers are free and guides are good and lubricated... and if the brake noise is squeaking squealing type of noise it maybe solved by putting some silicone brake lub (or anti-squeak) behind the brake pads..did you install pads or mechanic?

stevelaw Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 1. What is the pad material? 2. Sis you get anti-squeal shims to put under the pads? 3. Did you use any silicone anti-squeal compound? 4. Were the rotors turned?

I bought Brembo Cross-Drilled Rotors, and Semi-metalic Brendix Brake Pads, lubricated pads with quiet stop lubricant, as a result GREAT, SHORT, FAST, and QUIET stopping. It has been one month already and no squicking since:) Brendix brake semi-metalic pads are cheap and the best for street driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevelaw Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 did you turn the rotors when you put the pads on? they might be out of round.
